VxKex throwing "not a valid Win32 application" error with shortcuts on startup #250

Open i57331 opened 1 month ago

happens when I try to start vxkex-enabled applications from the taskbar after starting windows, fixes itself after starting manually instead 2024-05-22_123400

It's because the BHO CPIW bypass for Explorer is not loaded yet (you need to open a Windows Explorer to load it)

I've activated VxKex for explorer.exe instead (with regedit because unfortunately it's not allowed directly)

Hope I'll not have any troubles but this error message is gone now

@CopperFr could you explain which key should be added or changed in regedit?
